Yu Jingrong settled into the car without causing a fuss, likely due to having drunk more than she usually would. She leaned against her seat and fell asleep, occasionally murmuring, "Li Chengyun, you big bad egg..."
"Li Chengyun, I hate you..."
"Li Chengyun, you always bully me..."
When she woke up again, she found herself at the Villa 025. The room was dim and hazy, filled with a faint humming sound from the air conditioner.
She rubbed her temples and sat up, her body aching and feeling hollow from head to toe. She looked around to find that Li Chengyun was not in the room.
"Li Chengyun?" she softly called out, glancing at the wall clock. It was already midnight. Where was Li Chengyun at this late hour?
She got up and searched the entire villa, but there was no sign of him.
Returning to her room, Yu Jingrong picked up her phone from the bedside table, her fingers hovering over the screen. She brought up Li Chengyun's number.
